The growing importance of Time Sensitive Networks
April 12, 2017
We live in a world with self-driving automobiles, and reusable self-landing rockets. Such complex systems of multiple sensors, computers, and actuators form a Cyber-Physical System (CPS). Some CPSs will operate at scales that will challenge comprehension. From autonomous platooning vehicle convoys communicating with each other and highway infrastructure, to Smart Cities coordinating resources (avoiding traffic congestion, coordinating parking, reducing emissions and power consumption), to Smart national power grids and beyond.
To enable such automation, precisely timed system control must...
Software stack for automotive audio/video certified by AVnu Alliance
June 7, 2016
Excelfore, a company working in connected car platforms, has announced that its Audio Video Bridging/Time Sensitive Networking (AVB/TSN) software stack platform for audio networking as well as video end points has achieved AVnu Certification, becoming the first AVB/TSN software reference module to bear the AVnu-certified logo.
The AVnu Alliance is an industry consortium driving open, standards-based deterministic networking; it grants its certification mark to those devices that have passed all interoperability testing conducted by its third-party testing house, the...
Coveloz BACH Platform Certified By AVnu Alliance
January 6, 2016
Ottawa, Ontario - January 5, 2016 - Coveloz, a technology provider of embedded applications focusing on deterministic networking, announced today that their BACH™ Pro Audio Networking and Processing FPGA platform has achieved AVnu Certification. The AVnu Alliance, the industry consortium that certifies Ethernet AVB and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) devices for interoperability, grants its certification mark only to those devices that have implemented the IEEE AVB standards and passed AVnu Alliance's testing for interoperability and compliance.
The AVnu Certification...
University of New Hampshire Lab Tests Tech Products, Prepares Students for Engineering Careers
September 15, 2015
The University of New Hampshire’s (UNH) InterOperability Lab (IOL) wears two hats.
First, it serves as a third party testing house for technology companies looking to have their products certified by the AVnu Alliance.
Second, it employs students to test those products and give them a leg up in the engineering industry.
The IOL as a Testing House
As a third party testing space, UNH’s IOL is used to test products manufactured by technology companies across...
Where next for AVB and the AVnu Alliance?
September 8, 2014
The situation with regard to certification of AVB products is more complex. The reason for AVnu's decision to launch a certification programme - to guarantee interoperability of AVB products - requires little explanation. But the impartial observer might wonder about the fact that, as of September 2014, it has yielded little in the way of actual certified product. (For #1, see the first part of this two-part feature.)
Dante, AVB, and a Visit to the AVnu Testing Lab
July 26, 2013
I've long been a supporter of Audio Video Bridging (AVB)--an open standard way of sending time-synchronized audio and video information over an Ethernet network. AVB has been slowly working through the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards process for a long time--work on the standard began in 2005. I've been increasingly concerned that with an open standard vacuum, Audinate's proprietary Dante audio networking system will offer "good enough" functionality for most shows, thereby killing off any demand for...
